Ovation to Boss Shepherd.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., October 5.-rhe dem
onstration tonight in honor Of GOV Alex
r. Shepherd. or Boss Shepherd, as he has
been called, was unqiue and remarkable
affair II is the first time in the history of
the District perhaps of the country, where
the freedom of a city has been rendered to a
private citizen. This was formally extended
to Gov. shepherd this afternoon by an Off
cial letter from the District Commissioners
The parade tonight was in some respects i'm
posing and brilliant, and in Others amusing
and unique. The Governor stood on re-
viewing stand erected at the junction of Penn
sylvania avenue and tiftieth street, just at the
south end of the Treasury Department and
with uncovered head reviewed the entire
procession The first portion was brilliant,
consisting of wheelmen to the number of
about 500, arranged in piatoons--lirst bicy-
cles, then tricycles. each carrying coiored
lanterns Nextcame the District militia, but
at night the military is at discount,
although they were OUT in good force There
were numerous bands and some played Hail
To the Chief as they passed the reviewing
stand, while Others footed Home, Sweet
Home The fire department with their ma
chimes gaily decorated made very creiita-
bic display, but the Citizens division was,
in the language of Stuart Robson, "a cork
err There were white men and black men
big and little, each carrying a torch. which
they brandished in every conceivable manner
and as they passed the reviewing stand they
gave vent TO their enthusiasm in the most un-
earthly howls, that split the ears OF the spec
tators and must have been heard by the dead
al Arlington. These were the men who had
worked as laborers on the improvements
which the Governor undertook during his
administration, and those who are AT present
employed upon the public works here IT
was perhaps all well enough from a senti-
mental point Of view to put them in line
bur they We're certainly very unruly and
noisy mob. However, they served to length
en- the line, which occupied over an hour in
passing the reviewing stand. The pyrotech-
ME portion OF the display was very abundant
and brilliant. The Governor expressed him.

MR McPnERsoN's letter, published
elsewhere in tnis issue, punctdres the
pretext of Mr. Cleyeland's : services 70
the veterans of the Union army. The
Prt,s well says The thing to be con
sidened Is not that Cleveland has ap-
proved 66S pension bills in two wears.
while Grant only approved 4s5 in eight
years. Hayes 30S in four years, and Ar
thur 73o in little more than three wears.
These figures prove nothing as TO the
Presidents disposition, for he is not the
author of bills; he is the approver or
vetoer Of them. Arthur did not veto one
pension bill, nor did Hayes. Grant
vetoed eight, giving for reason in thnee
Gases that the persons pensioned We're
proven TO have been Geserters Cleveland
has vetoed l24--about 10 per cent of all
the pension bills preseted to him
More pension bills have been passed
during the last two yeas than during
any other two, because with increasing
years there comes increasing weakness
and increasing need of aid to the old
soldier or his widow. 1t Is the generous
temper of the country that is manifest
IN the number Of pension bills presented
by Congress 10 the President; il is ex-
ecutiye indifference TO the welfare Of the
soldier that is manifested bv Presidential
yetoes''
